DEBORAH B. WEISER v. ELIZABETH W. CASTILLE IN RE DEBORAH B. WEISER
APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE LEE V. FAULKNER, JR., DIVISION "P", NUMBER 782-693, 756-148 C/W 784-323
Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois, John J. Molaison, Jr., and Scott U.Schlegel
WRIT DISMISSED Relator, Deborah B. Weiser, seeks this Court's supervisory review of the trial court's judgment of October 9, 2024, which awarded sanctions in favor of Elizabeth Castille and against relator.
Upon review, we find that the judgment complained of is a final judgment per La. C.C.P. art. 1915(A)(6), which provides:
A. A final judgment may be rendered and signed by the court, even though it may not grant the successful party or parties all of the relief prayed for, or may not adjudicate all of the issues in the case, when the court:
***
(6) Imposes sanctions or disciplinary action pursuant to Article 191, 863, or 864 or Code of Evidence Article 510(G).
Thus, this Court does not have supervisory jurisdiction to review this final judgment.
Relator filed a notice of intent to file an appeal from the “final judgment” in the 24th Judicial District Court on November 6, 2024. The district court's order of November 8, 2024, granted the appeal “in accordance with La. C.C.P. art. 2083 and 2123.”
Thus, it appears that relator's intent was to file an appeal, and that the district court granted the appeal. The Clerk of Court for the 24th Judicial District Court should proceed to process the district court's order of November 8, 2024 as an appeal
Accordingly, this writ application is dismissed.
